I have an iPhone 3G running 3.0. It seems like everything is setup but I have not recieved any push notifications in badges or pop up notifications like were shown during testing and the media events. I have apps that should be sending me these notifications like Zillows, AP Mobile, and Tap Tap but I have not recieved any since I installed 3.0 around 2:30 on Wednesday. Have non of these apps sent notifications? I figured at least AP Mobile would send me one, news is always changing.
Got a tip for us?

I read here that a couple people had gotten one from AP News or whatever it is. I don't have it.
I did get one from TextFree so I can say that one is working as it should.

Apple seems to be holding back some of the apps that would make heavy use of it for some reason....
I THINK I got one from TTR2. It was like "did you know you can download songs etc etc etc?" Then I could choose either "continue" or "cancel." I was in game though =\.
My AP Mobile worked. I only turned it on to test the feature, since I didn't really care about push for the apps I have (or that have push enabled).
2 days of having AP mobile installed and I saw 1 badge update but didn't give me an alert. Not sure what the problem is.
This afternoon my Zillow app showed a 13 beside it and sure enough in the saved searches was 13 new listings.
I got nine or ten from Star Defense... people challenging me. In fact, when you get an alert, it makes the same default noise as a text. I had to turn them off because I kept getting them at 3 a.m. and they were waking me up.
I wish there were more options to control notification noises (so you can silence them), acceptable times of day, etc.
If left unchecked, they might become awfully annoying.

I contacted AP about a month or so ago about how to get our paper's stuff on there. Dude responded by e-mail and said he'd get back to me about how to do so. Um, still waiting.
AP is a nonprofit funded by its members. With a lot of its members getting kicked in the pants financially, AP is probably not prioritizing everything we wish. They have some buggy-as-hell software we use daily, so I'm pretty sure breaking news alerts aren't going to exactly work perfectly out of the gate.
